Golden treasures of past can reshape our future. Weight
loss, the most prevalent ailment of our time can be
treated with some of the old age herbs. These herbs
can help us shed those extra pounds effortlessly. Their
proper usage can bring our body back into shape and
make our life a happier one.
Hoodia Gordonii, a species of cactus
plant used by the San tribesmen of the Kalahari Desert
in Africa to stave off hunger is the latest means of
weight loss for a lot of people. It is marketed online
as the "Miracle Cactus" with no harmful side effects.
The San people, formerly known as Bushmen, used to eat
this bitter-tasting plant on long hunting expeditions
to suppress hunger.
This wonder plant is one of the safest
and an all natural dietary supplement devoid of Caffeine
or Ephedra. This stone-age wonder plant found throughout
the dry arid regions of the Southwestern African continent
is now on the verge of making history in the fight against
obesity.
Green Tea is another wonderful ingredient
which helps in decreasing the body fat by increasing
the metabolism. It also contains powerful anti-oxidants
that help support cardio-vascular health. Many Chinese
people have been drinking green tea for centuries for
all the positive aspects that it brings to your health.
This has spread to people worldwide and green tea is
now the second most popular beverage in the world. Green
tea is said to have many health benefits, including
lowering cholesterol, boosting the immune system and
helping to prevent cavities and tooth decay.
Ephedra (under the name Ma huang) has
been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years
to treat several disorders. Ephedra reduces appetite
and stimulates fat metabolism, making it very effective
as weight-loss supplement. The active compound in Ephedra
(Ma Huang) is ephedrine. Ephedrine increases the metabolic
rate, so that your body burns fats and sugar more efficiently.
By mobilizing stored fat and carbohydrate reserves,
ephedrine reduces your appetite. Thus it has gained
worldwide popularity as a weight loss phenomena.
However, Ephedra has been banned in
the Netherlands since April 6th 2004 and in the USA
since April 12th 2004. Ephedra products can now only
be sold as a prescription drug. This also includes well
known herbal XTC's, Stackers and more of these weight
loss products. Only ephedra tea, Chinese herb and seeds
can still be sold because they are only used in traditional
medication methods.
So, if you desire to possess a slim
and trim figure then opt for these wonder herbs. But
always remember that the best way to control weight
remains in reducing your food intake and increasing
your daily physical activity. |
